2:00pm – 3:00pm
in Teams
Each day seems to introduce a charged topic or issue that can potentially work its way into the classroom environment. Such conversations can be challenging whether the faculty member introduces the topic as part of the class material, or whether the topic arises more unexpectedly. How can faculty handle difficult and sensitive topics when they arise? What kinds of strategies can be used to create a safe space for such discussions and to ensure that open and respectful dialogue can take place? What techniques can be used to maintain civility in the classroom?
Panelists:
